Bansal N, Campbell SM, Lin CY, Ashcroft DM, Chen LC. Development of prescribing indicators related to opioid-related harm in patients with chronic pain in primary care-a modified e-Delphi study. BMC Med 2024; 22:5. [PMID: 38167142 PMCID: PMC10763174 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-023-03213-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term opioid use is associated with dependency, addiction, and serious adverse events. Although a framework to reduce inappropriate opioid prescribing exists, there is no consensus on prescribing indicators for preventable opioid-related problems in patients with chronic pain in primary care in the UK. This study aimed to identify opioid prescription scenarios for developing indicators for prescribing opioids to patients with chronic pain in primary care. METHODS Scenarios of opioid prescribing indicators were identified from a literature review, guidelines, and government reports. Twenty-one indicators were identified and presented in various opioid scenarios concerning opioid-related harm and adverse effects, drug-drug interactions, and drug-disease interactions in certain disease conditions. After receiving ethics approval, two rounds of electronic Delphi panel technique surveys were conducted with 24 expert panellists from the UK (clinicians, pharmacists, and independent prescribers) from August 2020 to February 2021. Each indicator was rated on a 1-9 scale from inappropriate to appropriate. The score's median, 30th and 70th percentiles, and disagreement index were calculated. RESULTS The panel unanimously agreed that 15 out of the 21 opioid prescribing scenarios were inappropriate, primarily due to their potential for causing harm to patients. This consensus was reflected in the low appropriateness scores (median ranging from 1 to 3). There were no scenarios with a high consensus that prescribing was appropriate. The indicators were considered inappropriate due to drug-disease interactions (n = 8), drug-drug interactions (n = 2), adverse effects (n = 3), and prescribed dose and duration (n = 2). Examples included prescribing opioids during pregnancy, concurrently with benzodiazepines, long-term without a laxative prescription and prescribing > 120-mg morphine milligram equivalent per day or long-term duration over 3 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The high agreement on opioid prescribing indicators indicates that these potentially hazardous consequences are relevant and concerning to healthcare practitioners. Future research is needed to evaluate the feasibility and implementation of these indicators within primary care settings. This research will provide valuable insights and evidence to support opioid prescribing and deprescribing strategies. Moreover, the findings will be crucial in informing primary care practitioners and shaping quality outcome frameworks and other initiatives to enhance the safety and quality of care in primary care settings.

Abstract
We evaluated the prospective association of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) with markers of kidney function among a cohort of persons who inject drugs (PWID). This is a Prospective cohort study nested in the AIDS linked to the intravenous experience cohort (community-based cohort of PWID in Baltimore, MD). mtDNA CN was measured at two time-points 5 years apart using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. Kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], serum creatinine, urine protein) was measured annually. We used linear mixed effects models to evaluate kidney function trajectories (N = 946) and Cox regression models to assess hazard of incident CKD (eGFR < 60 at two consecutive visits, N = 739) and proteinuria (urine protein:creatinine ratio > 200, N = 573) by level of mtDNA CN (Low [lowest quartile], vs high [other three quartiles]. Models were adjusted for demographic and behavioral characteristics, HIV and/or HCV infection, and comorbidity burden. Low mtDNA CN was independently associated with higher hazard of incident CKD (aHR: 2.33, 95% CI 1.42, 3.80) and proteinuria (aHR: 1.42, 95% CI 1.04, 1.96). Participants with low mtDNA CN had greater declines in eGFR and greater increases in serum creatinine over time. Low mtDNA CN is associated with more rapid kidney function decline and risk of incident CKD and proteinuria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Persons with intravenous drug use have a higher risk of developing CKD compared with the general population. In Norway, deposits of polyvinylpyrrolidone have been observed in kidney biopsies taken from persons with opioid addiction and intravenous drug use since 2009. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is an excipient commonly used in pharmaceuticals, and the polyvinylpyrrolidone deposits observed in these patients were caused by intravenous injection of a specific oral methadone syrup containing very high molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone. Here, we present the clinicopathologic findings from 28 patients with CKD associated with polyvinylpyrrolidone deposition in the kidney. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The 28 patients and their kidney biopsies were included when polyvinylpyrrolidone deposition was recognized, either retrospectively or at the time of diagnostic evaluation. Biopsies were taken between 2009 and 2016. We collected laboratory parameters and clinical data from digital patient charts. For each kidney biopsy, the glomerular volume, extent of polyvinylpyrrolidone deposition, and tubulointerstitial area with tubular atrophy were assessed quantitatively. RESULTS All patients (mean age: 37 years) had CKD (mean eGFR: 33 ml/min per 1.73 m2) and normal urine protein or non-nephrotic-range proteinuria. Biopsies showed moderate to severe tubular atrophy (mean extent: 65%) and interstitial infiltrates of vacuolated macrophages containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (mean share of biopsy area: 1.5%). Underperfused and ischemic glomeruli were common findings. In 22 samples, ultrastructural investigation revealed polyvinylpyrrolidone-containing vacuoles in the mesangial or endothelial cells of glomeruli. At the last follow-up, most patients had stable or improved eGFR. Two patients had developed kidney failure and underwent hemodialysis. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous injection of a specific oral methadone syrup caused polyvinylpyrrolidone deposition in the kidney in persons with opioid addiction and intravenous drug use. Kidney biopsy findings suggested an association between polyvinylpyrrolidone deposition and tubular atrophy.

Abstract
CKD affects 15% of US adults and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. CKD disproportionately affects certain populations, including racial and ethnic minorities and individuals from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. These groups are also disproportionately affected by incarceration and barriers to accessing health services. Incarceration represents an opportunity to link marginalized individuals to CKD care. Despite a legal obligation to provide a community standard of care including the screening and treatment of individuals with CKD, there is little evidence to suggest systematic efforts are in place to address this prevalent, costly, and ultimately fatal condition. This review highlights unrealized opportunities to connect individuals with CKD to care within the criminal justice system and as they transition to the community, and it underscores the need for more evidence-based strategies to address the health effect of CKD on over-represented communities in the criminal justice system.

Abstract
Summary: Opioid use and misuse in the United States has been at epidemic proportions and is predicted to increase further in the setting of the Coronavirus disease 19 pandemic. Acute kidney injury is a condition associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality. We review the literature on the effect of opioids on kidney function and critically examine the association between opioid use and acute kidney injury and identify at-risk populations in whom opioids should be used with caution. We also discuss the role of biomarkers in elucidating this condition and propose preventive measures, novel therapeutic options, and research directions.

Abstract
Although pain is a common and burdensome condition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), little is known about the use and safety of opioids in this patient population. Recommendations regarding opioid use in patients with CKD are based on pharmacokinetic data, extrapolation from non-CKD studies, and from clinical experience. Given the potential increased risk for opioid-related adverse events in patients with reduced kidney function, health care providers may be hesitant to prescribe opioids, resulting in inadequate pain control. This review summarizes current studies of opioid use in patients with CKD, highlights special considerations, and proposes an opioid prescribing strategy for this unique patient population. Specifically, oral hydromorphone, transdermal fentanyl, and buprenorphine should be considered as the first-line opioids for patients with CKD if opioid management is indicated. A stepwise approach such as the Screen-Quantify-Use opioids-Adjust-Reassess-Engage prescribing strategy proposed here is critical to ensure optimal pain control while minimizing the side effects and adverse events of opioids. The effects of opioids on clinically relevant outcomes in the CKD population remains to be explored in future studies.

Abstract
Stimulation of kappa opioid receptors modulates calcium influx via TRPC6 channels in podocytes, which ultimately compromises the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier and promotes a marked worsening of blood pressure control and renal damage. Opioid use is associated with predictors of poor cardiorenal outcomes. However, little is known about the direct impact of opioids on podocytes and renal function, especially in the context of hypertension and CKD. We hypothesize that stimulation of opioid receptors (ORs) contributes to dysregulation of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) homeostasis in podocytes, thus aggravating the development of renal damage in hypertensive conditions. Herein, freshly isolated glomeruli from Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats and human kidneys, as well as immortalized human podocytes, were used to elucidate the contribution of specific ORs to calcium influx. Stimulation of κ-ORs, but not μ-ORs or δ-ORs, evoked a [Ca2+]i transient in podocytes, potentially through the activation of TRPC6 channels. κ-OR agonist BRL52537 was used to assess the long-term effect in SS rats fed a high-salt diet. Hypertensive rats chronically treated with BRL52537 exhibited [Ca2+]i overload in podocytes, nephrinuria, albuminuria, changes in electrolyte balance, and augmented blood pressure. These data demonstrate that the κ-OR/TRPC6 signaling directly influences podocyte calcium handling, provoking the development of kidney injury in the opioid-treated hypertensive cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have addressed the validity of self-reports of substance use in Iran. This study was conducted to evaluate concordance between self-reported data on drug use and urinalysis results in an adult population in Mashhad as the second most populous city in Iran. METHODS This population-based study recruited 2142 Mashhad residents aged over 16 years. The data were obtained from a study conducted in 2015 on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in an adult population in Mashhad. The participants were selected using multistage stratified cluster sampling. To evaluate the validity, the participants' responses to a single-question screening test of drug use were compared with their urinalysis results. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the self-reports were also assessed. RESULTS The prevalence of drug use was found to be 2.33% (95% CI: 1.75-3.09) based on the self-reported data and 17.74% (95% CI: 16.15-19.43) based on the urinalysis results. Opioids were the most prevalent form of drug used and the self-reports indicated low validity (sensitivity = 12.63%, 95% CI: 9.54-16.49). The women were found more predisposed than the men to misreporting their drug use. DISCUSSION In line with other studies in Iran, the validity of the self-reports of drug use was found to be low. Policymakers should therefore avoid relying only on self-reported data to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and preventive strategies.It is recommended that further in-depth studies be conducted to address the factors affecting the validity of self-reports in Iranian populations.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health concern in developed countries because of both the number of people affected and the high cost of care when prevention strategies are not effectively implemented. Prevention should start at the governance level with the institution of multisectoral polices supporting sustainable development goals and ensuring safe and healthy environments. Primordial prevention of CKD can be achieved through implementation of measures to ensure healthy fetal (kidney) development. Public health strategies to prevent diabetes, hypertension, and obesity as risk factors for CKD are important. These approaches are cost-effective and reduce the overall noncommunicable disease burden. Strategies to prevent nontraditional CKD risk factors, including nephrotoxin exposure, kidney stones, infections, environmental exposures, and acute kidney injury (AKI), need to be tailored to local needs and epidemiology. Early diagnosis and treatment of CKD risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension are key for primary prevention of CKD. CKD tends to occur more frequently and to progress more rapidly among indigenous, minority, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Special attention is required to meet the CKD prevention needs of these populations. Effective secondary prevention of CKD relies on screening of individuals at risk to detect and treat CKD early, using established and emerging strategies. Within high-income countries, barriers to accessing effective CKD therapies must be recognized, and public health strategies must be developed to overcome these obstacles, including training and support at the primary care level to identify individuals at risk of CKD, and appropriately implement clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
To present nationally representative data on changes in the prevalences of 12-month cocaine use, cocaine use disorder (CocUD) and 12-month CocUD among 12-month cocaine users between 2001 and 2002 and 2012-2013. Data were derived from the 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) and the 2012-2013 NESARC-III. Between 2001 and 2002 and 2012-2013, prevalences of 12-month cocaine use and DSM-IV CocUD significantly increased and 12-month CocUD among 12-month users significantly decreased. Increases in risk of cocaine use were seen across nearly all sociodemographic subgroups while increases in CocUD were observed among women, those in the oldest age group, Whites, individuals with the lowest incomes and highest education, and those residing in urban areas. Prevalence of CocUD among users significantly declined overall and among men, individuals aged 30-44 years old, the never-married, respondents with incomes between $20,000 and $34,000, and those residing in the Midwest. Increases in coca cultivation in Colombia in recent years together with increases in the purity of cocaine entering the U.S. portend more significant increases in the rates of cocaine use and CocUD in the U.S. along with increases in cocaine-related morbidity and mortality. The results of this study support the continued monitoring of cocaine use and CocUD in the U.S., especially in view of the narrowing of the gender gap and shifts in race-ethnic, age and socioeconomic differentials seen between 2001 and 2002 and 2012-2013.

Systematic review of nephrotoxicity of drugs of abuse, 2005-2016. BMC Nephrol 2017; 18:379. [PMID: 29287591 PMCID: PMC5747941 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-017-0794-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2017] [Accepted: 12/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The United States is faced with an unprecedented epidemic of drug abuse. Every year thousands of Americans visit the emergency departments all over the country with illicit drug related complaints. These drugs have been known to be associated with a range of renal pathologies, from reversible acute kidney injuries to debilitating irreversible conditions like renal infarction. So far, no comprehensive study or systematic review has been published that includes the commonly used street drugs and designer drugs with potential nephrotoxic outcomes. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of published case reports, case series, and cross sectional studies of nephrotoxicities related to drugs of abuse. Literature review was conducted using PubMed/Medline from January 1, 2005 -December 31, 2016 to search for publications related to drug abuse with a defined renal outcome. Publications which reported renal injury in relation to the use of illicit drugs were selected, specifically those cases with raised creatinine levels, clinically symptomatic patients, for instance those with oliguria and proven renal biopsies. RESULTS A total of 4798 publications were reviewed during the search process and PRISMA flow chart and Moose protocol regarding systematic reviews were followed. 110 articles were shortlisted for the review. A total of 169 cases from case reports and case series, and 14 case studies were analyzed. Renal manifestations of specific illicit drug abuse were included in this review. CONCLUSION Based on the evidence presented, a wide range of renal manifestations were found to be associated with drug abuse. If the trend of increasing use of illicit drug use continues, it will put a significant percentage of the population at an elevated risk for poor renal outcomes. This study is limited by the nature of the literature reviewed being primarily case reports and case series.

Abstract
Evidence suggests a link between opioid use and kidney disease. This review summarizes the known renal manifestations of opioid use including its role in acute and chronic kidney injury. Both the direct and indirect effects of the drug, and the context which leads to the development of renal failure, are explored. While commonly used safely for pain control and anesthesia in those with kidney disease, the concerns with respect to side effects and toxicity of opioids are addressed. This is especially relevant with the worldwide increase in the use of opioids for medical and recreational use.
